Charles A. Dunn. sute secretary ot | the Watkins Medical associatloft, ta in receipt of a paper from Winona, Minn., giving a full account of the death of .1 ft Watkins, which occurred in Kingston. Jamaica, on December 21st. and who was the head of the great Watkins Medicine company, spread throughout the United States, giving employment to thousands. The Winona Daily Republican, the day following the receipt of the news of his death, contained his obituary, which was, with grief, read by thousands, who during his business career, became so well known. On his voyage with Mrs. Watkins from New York to Jamaica he became somewhat seasick, and suffered from indigestion, but on the morning of the twenty-first he stated that he felt so well, that they took a carriage ride and called upon some of his friends Upon his return to the hotel he complained of severe pains and in spite of the best and prompt attention death overtook him within an hour after the attack. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, August 21, 1910,1 and from his childhood days was an energetic, ambitious young man. and the founding of the coast-to-oast business which he established, will forever remain as a standing monument. The funeral was held Sunday, December 31st. from his former home, the residence of Mr. and Mrs E. L. King, with the Rev. T. 8. Devitt of the First Congregational church, and the Rev Frank Doran of the Central Methodist church officiating. Interment was made in the Watkins family vault in the Woodlawn cemetery. The business in charge of Mr. Dunn here will be conducted the same as heretofore, everything to be continued as previous to Mr Watkins' death, and no change whatever will I result because of his demise. At exactly 11:11 the fire whistle notified the waiting assemblage that the test of the new automobile fire truck tecently purchased had begun. Situ-, atedat the site of the new city hall the machine was cranked and under the direction of Chauffeur Fierce of the Decatur Motor Car company and made the run byway of Second and Adams to the scene of the fire in the Fullenkamp addition, a distance of practically half a mile, and having two turns to make, in the short time of one minute and forty-fie seconds. I Carrying Messrs. William P. Cock-1 ran and William Harlan of the Kanawha company, who were handling the* e,uijm<:nt. the machine pulled up to •‘p r-npe cf the fir«>. Fi'teen seconds sufficed to la ythe hose and excite the fluid and gam t'essur*- from the air tanks, which contain air compressed to a u-ousand pounds. With Mr ' Ha. ian at the nozzle and Mr. Cochran handling the- tank, the fluid was rapidly thrown on the blazing building, which '"as ccr'fr C*ed If? ' rds tnd a huge pile of . orded ~2od ith- 1 in and soaked with five gallons of kerosene. In just three minutes and thirty seconds from the beginning of the signal the fire was out. This gave ;!.e lim id just one minute »□ c languish the blaze. The second test was conducted with gasoline. On account cf the liquid romradicting the action of kerosene ’he use of gasoline was made in or■er to get a quick, hot, briek fire. Throwing five gallons of gasoline on the charred boards of the burned building, it was fired and the blaze was allowed to flash skyward. From the instant the fluid was started until the fire was out three minutes elapsed, making very good time for a fire o, this nature. • In tchalf of Rkhtncn.'.. Ind., Fire Chief E. E. Miller and president of the board of works, H. M. Hammond, were present to see the demonstration. Mr. Miller says: “In my estimation the equipment equals if not surpasses the old style es soda water apparatus. Very quick time was shown in the demonstration and the machine seems to be able to handle almost any kind of difficulties.” Richmond is contemplating installing an auto truck and it is said that they will have a race between a horsedrawn wagan and a truck. About three or four hundred peo- 1 pie witnessed the trial and all seem-, ed well pleased with the action of the new truck. In possibly two or three weeks it will be installed in its new home as the beating plant will be fully install ed by next Tuesday and the carpenters have about a week’s work ahead of them. Then with three paid firemen to guard the city we will hardly experience the severe fire losses formerly the rule. At the meeting of the Knights of Pythias Thursday evening, Dick Myers was appointed from the local order to meet with other representatives of the lodges of the district at Bluffton January 25th, to arrange for the program for the district K. of P. convention to be held in this city V, "esday, February 21st. The matter of the appointment of the committees to arrange for the convention in detail was left with the newly installed chancellor commander, Fred Fruchte, who will name

t sem at the next ■Petlng Thursday i evening. A committee of five, on ar- . rangements, will be appointed, and ’ they in turn will sub-appoint commiti tees to arrange In detail for the convention. The Decatur lodge is planning a royal and elaborate entertainment of the delegates and visitors, and will make the convention held here one that will ever be green in the memory of the district. The district Is com posed of Wells, Jay, Blackford and Adams. The Installation of the new officers was also held Thursday evening, and Henry Jamieson was given the rank of page. That the Bluffton lodge and those of the other surrounding cities are bound to make a good showing at the convention is evident from the following Bluffton dispatch: "At a meeting the Bluffton Knights of Pythias lodge appointed Charles Pierce. Fred Mcßride, and Bert Wasson, a committee of boosters to enlist a large de'egation from the Bluffton lodge to attend the an mal district meeting to be held in Decatur in Fe’ > yuarv. Dlufftqa ”’*Jl attend, ended *’•• ' u brass band and if any other loJs, in the district makes a better showing than Bluffton it will have to go some. Dr. H. E. Robison was named representative from the Bluffton lodge to meet with representatives from other lodges of the district to adopt a program for the Decatur meeting.” A call has been issued signed by a large number of representative citizens of Adams county for a mass meeting of the temperance people of the county to be held in Decatur, January 3’l. 1912 The convention is for the pur ' pose of discussing the temperance si . . nation in Indiana. The meeting will oe held at ,he ' Bosse opera house, afternoon a-d ev-f ening. Ex-Governor J. Frank Hanly, who is well known for his enthusiastic support of the temperance cause will be one of the speakers. The Hon. E. ( E. Ballard, who is one of the most eloquent orators in Indiana, and a liie. long democrat, has also been secured to speak. There will be a number of the prominent citizens of Adams county and a representative of the Anti Saloon League on the program, and it will be a very interesting event. The oiiginal plan was to hold this meeting January 24th. but the date has I been changed to January 30th, in order to get the speakers. 1 -— - — -v ■" — I I I T’.:is morning at 5:17 o'clock the . body of Dr. Marie L. Holloway, for j many years a prominent lady and physician of this city, arrived over tie Clover Leaf from Branson. Mo , wbere her death occurred Tuesday atternoon, following a several months' illness from Bright’s disease. The body was accomnanicu by her sun-in-law. Will Winch, witn whom she made he- ' one there the past three years. Thtj i ruiieral cortege was met at the train by a large number of friends and the body was taken at once to the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Weaver on Fifth street, where the body will lie in state until Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock, when the funeral services will be held at the Christian church, in charge of the pastor, J. M. Dawson. Interment in the family lot in the Decatur cemetery, where Mrs. Holloway's husband, Dr. A. G. Holloway, is interred It is that Mrs. Holloway s son. George Holloway, will not be able to come, as he Is ill with pneumonia at Ravenna, Ohio, but his wife will arlive lie. e tomorrow atteinocn I T. eco n:y ouncll is in session today.

E. Ulman of Union of the district of Union, St. Mary's Root, Preble and Kirkland; M. Kirsch and J. W. Merryman of Decatur, representing | Washington township and Decatur. I the qiotning was spent in allowing the' I bills, for which the funds had been ex | [ hausted. At the afternoon session the coum il, disposed of a number of important items. The matter of appointing an inspector of weights and measure was discussed and postponed temporarily.! It is probable that the county will buy . the necessary weights and measure, 1 but will not appoint an inspector tin- . til the new law has been tried out. The appropriation of $50.00, alloy - ed last September, for a new record in the surveyor’s office, was increased to $l5O. The sum of SIOO was appropriated for a drtnking fountain for horses, I about the middle of the public square. 1 The sum of SI,OOO was appropriated i .for the buying of electric light poles, ■ nine for the court house square and i three for In front of the jail, the city > of Decatur to furnish the current free. The appropriation of $15,000 for the • new bridge at the foot of Monroe street in this city was increased to i SIB,OOO. “ In a special session of the city coun-

cil Thursday evening continued from . the regular meeting of Tuesday the I unfinished business relative to the se- . lection of three men who wit! be In - charge of the new fire apparatus .to ■ be turned over to the city by the Citi- ■ zen's Improvement committee wax I completed. On Tueeday evening the > Citizen’s committee recommended sev- - eral applications to the council, and asked that they make their appoint uienls previous to the fire test today, so that the men selected be given the opportunity of obtaining the Information given out by the representative of the Kanawha company, manufacturers of the apparatus. This rhe board of safety agreed to do so Wednesday evening, with the citizens committee, held a meeting and with the choosing of men whom they believed competent in every respect, and would answer to the long desired wants of the city in every particular resulted. The mel ting of last evening wga merely for the board of safety to repott back to the, council of their action and for the j adoption of same. The adoption of tbu* ' names was made by means ot a re. .1 prepared by the chairman cf the be :; . of safety, which read as follows: January IS, 1912. Comes now the board of safety, to which was referred the selection of men to fill the regular positions of the city fire department We wish to report as follows: After due examination of the applicants we have selected i the following men to hold said pcs - tions: Harry Kooken, Ed Hurst, Joe Kortenbrair. JACOB ATZ, CHAS. N. CHRISTEN, JOHN D. HALE. Board of Safety i Following this a brief talk was made by Councilman Christen, who stated i that although the council last Septem ber made appropriation for only two > men it soon became evident that two I would be insufficient for the carrying , out ot the much work and the twenty- , four hours each day which one or so ] will have to be on duty all the time. , and as the salary of these men will not ; start until about June, the third man | was considered and selected. The city j attorney was authorized to draw up au | ordinance defining the work of each ] man. his salary fixed, and otherwise , tor the faithful fulfilling of his duties. , which will come up before the couu- . cil at the next regular meeting There . ’: rj co ether work befo e the board j I he council adjourned. It took the jury this morning but fit- , teen minutes to return a verdict in favor of C. C. Schug and Ferdinand Met- , tier, who were sued tor S3OO damages , each, by Ferdinand Hanoi. The trial ' which began Wednesday was conclud ’ ed Thursday evening, with the argu meats of the jury, the court giving In ' structions this morning. The cas- .

Schug and Mettler art automobile agents at Berne. A nolle prosequi was filed in the case of John rvratner ana Mary Dein er, charged with fornication, and the case was dismissed. It will be remembered that Kratner and Miss Deiner were refused a marriage license here ana that they then went to Michigan where they were married, returning | here to live. The state < ’.aimed that I their marriage is invalid, and that they are therefore living in fornica tion. In the case ot Edward A. Kirchner vs. Bertha Kirchner et al., in which the juiy some time ago returned a verdict for the defendants, finding them the owners of the 40 acre farm in controversy, judgment was rendered this morning by Judge Merryman on the verdict.

His illness has been diagnosed as ptomaine poisoning and it is thought to have resulted from eating minced or pressed ham Mr. Mylott, whj :s employed at the Erie pumping station, was obliged to work Wednesday night and had gotten som-:-pressed liam to eat as a lunch at 1 o'clock that night. Some hours afterward he became very ill, and vomiting resulted. This was continued at in tervals, until about 11 o'clock Thursday, when his rendition became serious and a cab was called to convey him to his home, where medical aid , was hastily summoned. I 1 Following a letter received. Thursf day afternoon that John Steele was better, came a telegram Thursday ev 1 ening to his brother, George E. Steele, . stating that he had taken a change I for the worse. Mr. Steele then later, Thursday evenlug ailed but owing to the difficulty in hearing was unable to learn more except that i he was better than he had been in , the afternoon. Later news is expect- . ed at any time. John Steele, it will be remembered, was dangerously scalded several weeks ago in an ex- . plosion, while serving as engineer for i the Pullman company in Chicago. He ; has been in the hospital since, but was ; thought to be getting along well. It i was necessary to graft skin to the I scalded parts that refused to heal. ——• < Samuel Opliger of Linn Grove was i here this morning and stated that his son, Prof L. E.
